The Stolen Sisters
by Louise Jensen
Leah and twins Carly & Marie make up the Sinclair sisters. Snatched from their family home as children and nicknamed in the press as ‘The Stolen Sisters’. The trio, as adults, are approaching the twentieth anniversary of the incident which is naturally bringing to the surface all their feelings, both old and new. Twenty years of trauma, issues and secrets are coming to a head, how will the family get past these revelations?
The novel is written in a ‘then’ and ‘now’ format, which I felt worked really well. Revealing bits and pieces as and when and building suspense in a timely manner.
The story is told from multiple perspectives; Leah, Marie & Carly plus Leah’s husband George. Gaining an insight into each characters thoughts and feelings is always nice as it makes them feel a little more three-dimensional.
As a whole, I felt the idea behind the novel had great potential but I just didn’t resonate with the execution. There were a few elements that didn’t seem to resolve themselves and bits that just felt too far-fetched. I also felt that the kidnapping element itself resolved too easily.
There are lots of glowing reviews for this one and I seem to be in the minority, so please check it out if psychological thrillers are your cup of tea!
